Kiya (hello in Noongar Language). My name is Jessica de Tenon and I am a proud Aboriginal woman from the Gnaala Karla Booja region (Noongar language & dialectical groups from south-west of WA). I am the sexual health nurse working at Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation in Nhulunbuy, NT also referred to as the Gove Peninsula located in the north-eastern corner of Arnhem Land. I have been working with Miwatj Health for 5 years and have a background in cardiac, child health, women’s health, sexual and reproductive health. I am about to commence my masters of Women’s Health Medicine through The University of New South Wales.
